Yahoo Mail for iOS and Android now come with added sharing and sync features.

Read a fascinating article or find a delicious recipe on your iPhone or iPad? Yahoo Mail now automatically converts the link into a visual card, providing recipients a peek at the website before opening it. The enhanced preview can also be shared directly from your inbox to social media sites.

And when sending images or videos from the iOS Photos app or text from your notes, click the share button and choose the Yahoo Mail app icon to launch a new email message.

Jazz up your messages on iOS with Yahoo's expanded Paperless Post integration: Just tap the plus icon, select the stationery option, and choose from dozens of designs, including thank you and happy birthday themes.

Android updates, meanwhile, focus on people, starting with a complete directory. Visit the People Smart View in the sidebar and click "see all contacts" for an editable list of all people with whom you've communicated.
